Master the Orange Lip Look

How to wear the wham-bam lip color of the moment, plus tips for balancing your statement lip with the rest of your makeup

Spring's biggest beauty trend is orange lips, and we're ditching pastel and nude pouts for tangerine, melon and even neon citrus lips. One part vintage pinup, one part modern cool-girl, this style is bold yet so sophisticated that you could wear it to the office. (Really!) Here's how to punch up your usual 9-to-5 look -- and how to balance your show-stopping lip hue with the rest of your makeup.

Even out your skin tone by applying a luminous foundation all over your face. Set the makeup with a dusting of translucent powder.

Using a small shadow brush, sweep a shimmery champagne shadow onto the brow bone. Apply mascara to top and bottom lashes. Then, swipe stick foundation or concealer onto a makeup sponge and pat over your lips. This will neutralize your lips' natural hue to make the orange really pop.
